Coming out of the locker room at halftime, Seattle Seahawks’ head coach Pete Carroll told NBC’s Michelle Tafoya that the Seahawks needed to start running the football. Mike Tomlin then stated he believed the Seahawks were going to push the football down the field trailing 14-0.
True to his word, Carroll and the Seahawks came out firing on all cylinders on the ground, rushing for 125 yards in the second half, bludgeoning the Steelers’ front seven play after play, dragging the Russell Wilson-less Seahawks back into the game on the road.
It was familiar foe Alex Collins who led the charge for the Seahawks in the second half as Seattle ran away from Cameron Heyward and right into the likes of Isaiah Buggs, Henry Mondeaux and Chris Wormley, picking up chunk play after chunk play running through large gaps and poor tackle attempts tp stun the Steelers’ defense, which had its way in the first half against the Geno Smith-led unit.
